This websiteis dedicated to physicians suffering from depression, and those who care about them. Depression is a surprisingly common, very serious, yet frequently unrealized diagnosis among healing professionals, and it is eminently treatableif recognized. Yet far too often, it is not.

Suicide is the most serious result of untreated depression, a medical disease.

The loss of a healing professional to a treatable medical disease through ignorance, fear or denial is a travesty.

If you are a professional suffering from depressive symptoms, please know that you are not alone. Please view this excellent video on depression and suicide in physicians by the AFSP, entitled "Struggling in Silence".

If you are a person concerned about suicidal tendencies in any other person, please encourage them to get help from a professional.

If you are a professional and you need resources for dealing with possible suicidality in anyone, please look at this site.
